NLO 1402: Checking Chad

October 22, 2021

Patrick is on the road, and that means less frequent podcasts, slower uploads, and disgruntled listeners everywhere. It’s ok, kids. You’ll be fine. More shows are on the way. On this episode, Patrick sits down with comedian Chad Zumock to talk about their week working in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as various topics in the world, from the ongoing nightmare of the pandemic to Brian Laundrie and his insane caper to escape the authorities. Chad is also in the middle of a feud with his fellow podcast host an friend Kevin Brennan revolving around Chad’s friendship with comedian Dave Landau. Kevin doesn’t like Dave and he apparently thinks that Chad shouldn’t be friends with him either. …

Aftershow 1401: Trouble in Thai-land!

October 10, 2021

Patrick is headed to Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas, but before he goes, it feels like we should at least cover the latest insanity rising up out of the sweltering sewer that is Las Vegas comedy. Let’s go over the recent events perpetrated by everyone’s favorite dramatic dildo, Thai Rivera, and the horniest promoter this side of St. Louis, Trouble aka Artemis Rios! These two have been at each other’s throats (and not in the gay way) for a year it seems. One is a desperate comedian struggling to validate his career in the public eye while still working hotel pool gigs, and the other is trying to convince a new wave of tourist pussy every weekend that he runs the hottest comedy show in Vegas while putting up open mic talent to headline. …

Aftershow 1397: Trouble in Vegas, Thai Rivera’s Pilot Script!

August 18, 2021

There’s so much drama in the Las Vegas comedy community, sometimes it’s hard to know whether to just ignore it, or to dive in and cover it all. But you have to talk about something, and they say write what you know. Whatever that means. Artemio Rios aka Trouble in Vegas aka I Am Las Vegas is causing some dissent in the scene by questionable behavior when it comes to the ladies, as well as paying comedians. We talk about a comic named William Strange and touch on his hypocrisy involving the Butch Bradley incident. Will this spell the end for the Splash pool party and comedy show at The Artisan, or give birth to an entirely new brand of creepy trying-oh-so-hard-to-be-hip-and-sexy shows? The main course of the evening is a pilot script dropped in Patrick’s lap by an old acquaintance of Thai’s. …

The KRINGE of Las Vegas

June 21, 2021

OOO GRRL! So many juice boxes to sip in this show! Thai Rivera’s world is collapsing around him. His less-experienced partner has backed out of his new residency show (wise choice), his financing is in jeopardy, he is rethinking the whole show concept and searching for new variety performers, and he admits it’s stressful and not ideal. Oh, also, he wants you to buy tickets for this poorly-executed garbage fire. The show has learned that the venueWe call the Thunderbird Hotel and Casino, and nobody seems to even know about Thai’s show, how to buy tickets, or that it’s even happening in a week. A woman at Chanclas Cantina thinks Patrick is Thai on the phone! We find out that Thai is still trying to get comics in trouble behind the scenes. …
